I'd be really careful posting these videos because it is against federal law what you are doing which is defacing and or destroying currency. And the fbi and treasury departments crack down hard on that. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that you end up getting a visit from the feds
Thanks Skyler! You got me started making rings 3 years ago. I've paid for all my equipment & then some using the skills you have demonstrated. May God bless you for your generosity! Sincerely, Mikee409
Made my first clad quarter ring today. Just as described. Biggest lesson learned was you can't be timid with the ring stretcher. Trust that you've annealed correctly and go at it. :) Thanks, Skyler!
Interesting… I have purchased a couple.. they’re beautiful! I knew there was alot of work and science involved. Just wasn’t sure of the process. Very interesting!
Thank you for this video. It's been about 4 years since I've made any coin rings and I've just been reunited with my high school sweetheart. It's been 50 years since we were together, I just spent a week down in Kentucky where she lives, and we still feel the same as we did when we were teenagers. I showed her some of the rings I've made, and she was impressed, so I want to make her a ring for Christmas. Thanks again for your video.
Skyler this is the most straight forward explanation of the process for coin rings that I have seen on the net, I use the same steps however I've never teflon wrap as much as you,I guess I've been lucky.
Thank you for this video, Skyler! I haven’t made a coin ring for about five years now. This was a fantastic refresher and motivator! Might very well get me back into the shop.
That is a lot of information there Skyler 👍 I think I will leave this job to the professionals, and just stick to my metal casting! I will see you in your next video 👍
Fascinating! It would probably be way less expensive to just buy a pre-made ring than to buy all the equipment, if you just want one ring, which would be me.
This would be fun to try, but I can't imagine anyone but another professional like yourself having access to all the specialized equipment you used. I'll just go to your site and buy one you made. You do excellent work!
You’d be surprised on how many people out there do this! It’s become quite the serious hobby or more for many people. That’s why I made this video! There are a lot of people who have the equipment but would benefit from the formula to get the most out of it. But I would definitely be honored to make you a ring as well :)
Thanks Skyler. I really enjoy your presentation style and the "back to basic" content is always refreshing and I'm sure will help many. Thanks for the plug as well! You're the greatest!
Thanks fellow Oregonian for all the info, Question you went from step 4 to Swedish wrap then back to the ring stretcher I'm try to make a step by step log for myself Thanks for the help
Thanks! It has definitely been a strenuous journey making the shop and filling it up :) But I really love it every time I am in there. It never gets old.
Awesome vid! We metal detect and have found hundreds of dollars of coins. I would love to supplement our hobby with ring making. 2 questions: 1) is there a starter kit you recommend? I have a 20-ton press and lots of tools. 2) do you think this process could work for shotgun backs (we call them headstamps). We find them everywhere in the woods. Thanks again!
I've JUST found coin rings on Etsy! Badass! And they're affordable too! Much better than a jewelry store rip-off! Thank you for the video! (Are there actual coins made from bronze??) Super cool!!!
Can I send you silver coins that I have? I have dimes, quarters, a 2000 walking liberty, and a liberty head dollar from 1900. Hate to destroy them, but they just sit. Thank you.
@@FlangerNotAnger Sure thing! Send me a message through my website www.changeyoucanwear.net and I can get that going for you! I miss messages on TH-cam all the time.
There are a ton of price points of getting in to this. You can spend a little or a lot depending on what you do. A complete setup will run around $3k. Here is my tool video A complete Rundown On All The Tools for Coin Ring Making th-cam.com/video/k8C0kXI9SR0/w-d-xo.html. Also I have a budget coin ring making playlist you should check out.
Excellent video! Unfortunately, I don't have all those sweet Swedish tools, only the expander/reducer press. Any chance you could do a video using just a press and not all the cool Swedish dies?
Nicely done Brother!!! That ring looks amazing!!! WOW!!! I know you and I have talked about that famous green straw for stirring that liver of sulfur! I am surprised it actually made the move!!! If you ever decide to get rid of it, let me know I could give it a nice retirement home! Lol
So this is unrlated to coin ring making, but you seem to know your stuff. So here it goes, I'm going to try to resize my rng at home, i have a hard steel ring mandrel and a sizer, but should I anneal it first? It is tungsten with a rose gold core. Thanks, and nice videos
Wanted to make a quarter ring as my husbands wedding band. Dont own a drill and im not interested in buying one with the special bit but holy crap the auto puncher is 400$! And thats with only 2 sizes!
Two questions. When you reduced the ring with the pepe reducer you dipped in some sort of white cream. What was that? and what was that for? Aslo, it would be noce if you listed some of the tools you used. I had to watch the video over and over to get a list of all the stuff you need. Also, is that the Central machinery arbor press?
The white stuff is Pepe lube from Pepe tools. It reduces the friction allowing for a nice even press. And I thought that I added a link to the tool list video in my description of this video but I just checked and it wasn’t there! I’m a little surprised I didn’t add it. I did now. So thank you for bringing it up!
Really like your video. I had a old dime. It looked blackish. I started rubbing aluminum foil onto dimes surface. Turned out to be a 1944 dime. Why did the aluminum foil clean up the black dime to shiny.?
I'm surprised you have all these press and forming tools.I suppose it's much quicker.We used to make these when I was an apprentice toolmaker.The coin was drilled on a lathe and then repeatedly hammered while rotating and annealed regularly.Same result but took a much longer time.
I mean the pepetools stretcher is about 550$, you can pick up a set of 17° does for about 180$ from legacy coin ring tools that come with a coin punch, it’s not Siri but it’s still good. Then a 1 ton arbor press for about 50$, then the other miscellaneous tools for 60-100$ but there’s plenty of videos of how to do it on a budget
This tutorial is most beneficial to those who already make jewelry and have equipment. If you just want to make a ring for yourself, it’s not really worth setting up shop lol.
It was a very long time ago so, I could be wrong. But I always thought I remembered kids, in machine shop making those things using just a central former and a planishing hammer? I don’t recall any dies and presses. I guess the result was a lot more primitive.
Would just letting the coin cool on its own and not quenching it help to avoid the possibility of cracks forming when starting the folding and sizing process ? Or Working the coin while its still warm be of any benefit or just stick to quench after annealing ?
I have a good start on this ring project. I have Teflon tape. Now all I need is a few common, easily accessible, tools. Hold on, I can just buy a ring.

Thanks fellow Oregonian for all the info, Question you went from step 4 to Swedish wrap then back to the ring stretcher I'm try to make a step by step log for myself Thanks for the help
You take it back to the ring stretcher after Swedish wrapping in order to make it the proper size like in my 3 examples that I gave.
Another great video, as always, Skyler! Very clear and concise!
I am so envious of your studio and tools. You are one lucky dude.

Hi like your videos how do I keep my ring looking silver after ennealing
You can pickle it in order to clean it if it’s silver or gold. Pepe tools sells bench basics smart pickle. That’s what I use.
looking forward to making some , great lesson

Hello, excellent. Question, do you use
The Swede wrap after you use the 17 degree fold? Then after Swede dies then stretch? I got a little confused
Really like your video.
I had a old dime.
It looked blackish.
I started rubbing aluminum foil onto dimes surface.
Turned out to be a 1944 dime.
Why did the aluminum foil clean up the black dime to shiny.?
Beautiful ring
Can you please give me a list of all tools you used to make these rings. How much would I be looking at?
Check out my tool list video!
Thank you! How much for all that Pepe gear?
How long would it take for you to make it from the start to putting it into the jeweller's pickle?
What is the white soap looking stuff you used on the edge of the coin before you put it in the stretcher reducing die?
That is Pepe lube
How much money will it take for me to buy all them tools. To make coin rings + other stuff ccould u let me no

Thanks for the video. Question; I’m not quite sure how long I need to anneal for each time I do it. Do you any set time?
It needs to get to a really barely noticeable red. That will tell you you made it up to temp. It’s best to do with the lights off.
